Reply #4: We already were "automating." Our SOS cancelled the orders 'cuz of Diebold

[Atman]

I have to give her credit. We were all ramped up to go, all the poll workers could talk about at the last election I worked. But then the stories started coming in. More and more, and our SOS actually paid attention. Finally, it was determined that Diebold had lied to the state in their proposal for the machines, something about the security issues, and that is when she finally said "screw HAVA, we're cancelling our orders for DRE's." As it stands, we're still using the old crank machines. I love 'em. Lots of redundant counters and double-key locks. And that resounding THUNK when you pull the lever back and you know your vote has been actually recorded!
